Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
2002 (178 minutes) PG-13 - for epic battle sequences
and some scary images
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted
by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged
the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that
he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken
from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-Earth
still it remained lost to him. After many ages it
fell, by chance, into the hands of the Hobbit, Bilbo
Baggins. On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo disappeared,
bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling
Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-Earth,
deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy
the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
